[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7473039, member: 7006"] But why should it? If you are completely ignorant of any supposed "truth", then there's no reason to be upset. I mean, let me ask you this: Right now are you, Chaosmancer, feeling at all put out or ignorant about living on Earth right now? Are you perpetually po'd? Because there's a pretty good chance that there's an actual multiverse out there, and thus your objective "truth" right now on Earth is false. Someone else out there in the multiversal cosmos is laughing at you for not knowing what's "really going on". Does that bother you? I mean, by the way you and a few others are talking about the D&D multiverse thing, you [I]should[/I] be bothered. Even though you have nothing to base your anger on. However, I'm willing to guess that you probably aren't. For a couple reasons. 1) You have no idea if in fact there *is* a multiverse or if there *are* people out there laughing at you. For all we know, it's a bunch of BS. And 2) Even if there is, you're never going to experience it or see those people involved, so from our perspective whether or not it exists is [I]completely inconsequential[/I]. One of our quantum physicists can claim "Oh yeah, it's all true!" all they want... but if we're NEVER going to experience it... it doesn't matter. And the same holds true for anyone playing Eberron. Eberron is a closed system. Even if there *is* a "greater truth" out there... as far as the people of Eberron are concerned... it's existence is probably total BS, and even if by some whackadoo philosopher's beliefs it *is* true... no one in Eberron is ever to know it for themselves anyway. So the "truth" doesn't matter. And that's exactly why what Crawford and Company say ALSO doesn't matter. If we live in the Matrix, but we never know that we live in the Matrix... then do we?
